I've been following the anime as each episode is subbed, and it's pretty good so far. The art is really quite amazing and the voice actors are doing a really great job. (I especially like Soul and Death the Kid). The series has a really great style, and I'll definitely be buying the manga when it released later this year/early 2009 (by Yen Press). Although, my only problems with it are the plot and the fan-service. I'm really hoping that the plot is going to deliver substance (BONES studio's work should not go to waste!), and not just another formulaic shonen series. Some of the fan service is not to my liking (aka Witch Blair), but it IS shonen afterall.
The only character I'm not terribly fond of right now is Black Star. He gets a bit too obnoxious sometimes...and his hair freaks me out a bit.

The designs of the characters are really great, and would be great to cosplay from. There was one character in the opening wearing all black, with a black hood, blond hair, devil tail, and dotted tattoos who really caught my eye. I'd bet the manga fans would know who she/he is.

I know exactly what you mean, it does kind of fit into the typical shonen Genre but I really think the characters are interesting and unique. It's kinda rare to have a strong female main character too.
There is alot of fan service, but I don't mind it. And I have a lot of faith in BONES I think they will do the series justice.

The black hood person you were talking about is Medusa, she's one of the bad guys. She's pretty kick ass, I like her powers. The manga is just a little different then the anime so far, but it's still good. It's not drawn all to well in the beginning but it definitely gets better. The style reminds me a lot like King of Bandit Jing, which makes me happy xDD

I remember thinking that Tsubaki was kinda neat looking (as were the duo for... Death the Kid, I think it was). It's literally been years since I read my the first manga, and just didn't buy any others since then (it was in Japanese).

Soul Eater! The wacky art and character design was what attracted me to this series. I have only read up to book 2 but basically my friend has gave me too many spoilers so even though I have yet to know Medusa, but I think I already liked her. My friend just made her sounded like the most awesome bad guy in SoulEater. Dx And I really pity poor Stein because he got 'bullied' by Medusa, plus he is my next favorite character after Death. But then Death is just plain love! I just loved his crazy obsession with perfection and symmetry. I have already done a ghetto Death cosplay, but next time round I am going to make his skateboard! I hope I don't crash into anybody....

heheh, Kidd is such so interesting, it's not hard to fall in love with his character xDD
Oh wow~! You make such a cute Death the Kidd! <3
